  • Rant: Don't Butcher Chinese Names Please

yaoyueyi I see! So the correct way is to separate the two character given names, but either way it doesn't change the structure or meaning. Thank you for clarifying that for me! :)

I actually like when it's written separated. I think it has a nice presence that way. I just wasn't sure if it changed anything. :p

I'm sorry for asking again, what do you think about 明善?

    Great Expert, can you check this one for This Fish?
    Wind Great Night; Feng Daye/Feng Da Ye.

    The literal translation "Wind Big Night" seems kinda bad in This Fish opinion.

      Eh, This Fish thought the same, it sounds kinda bad.
      Still, Could you suggest some names for a Wind User?
      Any gender works, I can make it do somehow.

        Hi! I'm here again to ask for your advice 😊

        Is the name Lu Qiang okay? Or should I go with Lu Qian? 😊

          So um, these are mine. I hope some of them work so I don't have to change much in my novel but nothing's ever perfect. Also, can you suggest me a name for a guy who uses super strong ice abilities? Just like his temperament; he is cold, ruthless, and definitely heartless. But not the main character of course. Sorry for taking your time.
          Bai Li [MC-]
          Da Yuan
          Fan Tong
          Jia Yan
          Ju Dun
          Khu Bei
          Mo Tian
          Shi Qigang
          Wei Tao
          Yue Su
          Yue Yong
          Zhao Fei
          Zhao Kufei

            yaoyueyi
            This Fish thinks he can make it do.
            Also, are these good?
            Wind Little Night (Feng Xiaoye)
            Jade Little Wind (Yu Xiao Feng)
            Don't mind the Xiao's, they just sound nice and This Fish can't think of anything to replace them.

              BeyondBreaking

              okay: bai li, da yuan, fan tong, jia yan, mo tian, shi qigang, wei tao, yue su, zhao fei, yue yong
              not okay: ju dun, khu bei, zhao kufei

              suggestion: Mo Bingxi 慕冰熙 or Leng Chenyu 冷尘宇

                DaddyFishGotBigPp xiao just makes me think of a kid. people generally don't use them in names unless they're nicknames because people can outgrow them. unless you're talking about really short people... that might work.

                  My story is set in modern day Chengdu. Hence,most of the characters are Chinese. Their names are: Gu Ren(male) ,Wang Xiu(female), Zhang Wei(male), Liu Ren(male), Li Wei(male).Please tell me whether these names make sense as all mandarin I know is by watching CN dramas. A little help will be appreciated,
